ORIGINAL: wcoates
off the subject just a tad, but do we have documented anywhere just how many hardtops there are in existence. '87'89 are equal to total production. I've heard 630 for the '93s between factory and dealer installed. That leaves phase IIs as the missing link. any way ro check?
Phase I cars are being terminated at an ever increasing rate. Easily, that has now reached 4 cars per week.
Since 100% of all Phase-I cars came with hard tops and rarely does the hard top get damaged, mainly because it is rarely on the car, there are a lot of hard tops sitting in rafters, a lot of them. At one point, there were over 10,000 Phase I hard tops. Today, between all year models, there arent that many Allantes left running. Today, there are more Hard Tops than surviving cars.
Assume that this year, another 200 Phase-I hard tops will be staying behind while the car goes to Allante heaven. At some point, as the demand dries up, the Phase-I HT market started to take a dive.
In 2004, the "its a great deal" price was $500. We are now seeing them in the $100 to $200 range.
Again, what was the question?
Did you notice something?
A total of 21,431 cars made .. or pretty close to that. +/- 5.
About 1/4 were PHASE-III cars, 1993
About 1/4 were PHASE-II cars, 1990.5, 1991, 1992, of which about 800 units were "10" series Hard Top cars.
About 1/2 of the grand total were PHASE-I cars, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, all 10,000+ units with Hard Tops.
About 1/10 were PHASE-II 1992s
of that, about 230 were of he "NU10xxxx" series, so around 230 of 1992 PHASE-II Hard Top cars?
About 1/7 were PHASE-II 1991s
of that, maybe 320 were of the "MU10xxxx" series, so around 320 1991 PHASE-II Hard Top cars?
You got all that?

OEM Phase 2 hardtops do not have power latches like the convertible tops. They have a tool to turn a latch mechanism about 90 degrees to latch or unlatch the front. There is no way to tell exactly how many Phase 2 hardtops were sold, because some were dealer installed. There is also no exact tally of 1990.5 models with Phase 2 tops.
According to Cadillac, 329 was the number of 1991 Allante's that had factory hardtop VIN numbers.
For 1992, it was 232.
It appears that about 550 hardtop Allante's were made in the 1990 model year. Perhaps about 250 of them were Phase 2, so with that assumption a little over 800 Phase 2 hardtop cars were produced.
